Barcelona made a poor start to the defence of their La Liga title on Friday after they lost Luis Suarez to injury and, worse, got beaten by Athletic Bilbao.

Suarez hobbled off in the 37th minute with what looked like a calf injury before Aritz Aduriz came on in the 88th, the 38-year-old striker who has announced he will retire at the end of the season.
